What

Sustainable Educational Experience (SEE) seeks to empower children and adults of the Colorado Springs area to be household, community and environmental stewards through hands-on learning opportunities about food production and preservation, artisanship, ecosystems, and sustainable living. SEE connects people with one another and with the natural world through volunteering, education, and community events.

Why

Our society faces challenges of maintaining abundant food and water, dependence on pollutive energy sources, and social deterioration. The pandemic has illuminated the importance of self sufficiency and community resilience in the face of great uncertainty. We can create and live in a sustainable future that surmounts these challenges through cultivating skills that reconnect people with the land and each other.

Needs
